So we typically toss a video onto a post when highlighting a new band or a show preview or something and let you draw your own conclusion about it. Sometimes we throw a change-up... strike that - let’s call it a round up. Most of these videos are of bands we have previously talked about here on Draw Us Lines, so we won’t be telling you much about those bands themselves, just some musings that really aren’t worth a damn. If a picture is worth 1000 words, then a video must be worth a million. Hold on to your hats! [...]

Words by Jim Big Hurry's latest release begins with the clapping of hands and an eery summarization of their career as a band: "Hey, we started right on the very bottom / We worked our way right out / I got right back down on my bended knee". Fitting words for a group that's progressed incredibly since their inception in 2008 and is about to face a new chapter in their career. Well done Big Hurry , well done. Point taken. [...]
Song: "Little Something" Artist: Big Hurry If you know us well, you know we love Big Hurry , and if you know Big Hurry well, you'll be just as excited about this new tune as we are. "Little Something" is actually a pretty big deal; it's the first teaser of the band's forthcoming Sink Or Swim EP, whose release they're celebrating on 10/21 at the Brillobox. (Mark your calendars!) I've always been impressed with their ability to craft catchy songs that make me want to clap, dance, air guitar, and [...]

Words by Jim Anticipation can be a real bitch, you know? You wait and you wait and you wait and then whenever whatever it is actually get's here, you're disappointed. It's happened to me a million times in the past. Christmas morning comes and that video game you wanted so bad turns out to be totally stupid and like, you're way cooler than that shit anyway. The Matrix sequels finally come out and man, didn't they totally blow? Yeah. They did. That gets me to my point. Big Hurry [...]

Big Hurry w/ Triggers , Mount Peru , and DJ Gordy / Brillobox / Friday January 28th / 10 PM / $7 Words by Patrick Bowman It was a frigid January night in 2009 when I first saw Big Hurry in concert, opening for the now-defunct Pittsburgh dance punks The Sexes , and Toronto pop pixie Lights up on the Brillobox’s second floor. I don’t think the band was any more than three or four months old at that point and [...]
Song: "Radio" Artist: Big Hurry It's not everyday that a song just knocks on your front door and moves right in. Maybe you find yourself humming it while tending to trash detail on Sunday evening? Maybe your roommate finds you whistling the chorus while doing the dishes? It's official, "Radio" by Big Hurry has taken up residence with me. Buncher's drums now occupy the living room. Tobias's lead vocals reverberate through the front landing stairwell. Flatley's bass lines pace around the dining room while Wilkosz's ragged guitar lines race down [...]
